An addendum:
The two copies of the English translation of the "Arte de navegar" that
Nicol�s and I mentioned can be downloaded from "Early English Books Online".
A library close to you may have subscribed to that. In Germany you can even
subscribe to that as a private person and free of charge.

According to D.W. Waters (The Art of Navigation in England in
Elizabethan and Early Stuart Times, London, 1958, p.163) an English
translation was produced under the title of "The Arte of Navigation..."
by John Frampton in 1581 and printed by Thomas Dawson. It was only
reprinted once.
You will find a 1595 copy at the British Library under shelfmark
C.118.c.12 ("The arte of navigation, wherin is contained, all the rules,
declarations, secrets, and aduises, which for good nauigation are
necessary, and ought to be knowen and practised ... With the declination
of the sunne newly corrected. Translated out of Spanish into English, by
Iohn Frampton.').
